Today’s show is filled with some not-so-closely-held surprises. Among them:

The most important part of today’s show is the celebration of our second birthday as a podcast and online show.

Here’s the video of surprising Dennis on the purchase of a house inside Hot Springs Village. Video was shot by my son, Ryan, the DFW home inspector. You can find him at RyanInspects.com.

In other news, I’m back “on the air.” We’ll discuss why I’ve been away much of the past year.

Stay tuned ’cause we’ve got big plans as we enter year 3 of Hot Springs Village Inside Out.

Thank you to so many people who have helped us grow and develop enough to turn two!

Note regarding the Hot Springs Village buy-in fee: The fee is $1,500 for an improved lot, $250 for an unimproved lot and $1,250 to convert an unimproved lot to an improved lot. An unimproved lot is a lot which has no utilities (aka water meter). In other words, an empty lot which doesn’t yet have a house on it.

It’s easily a top 3 question we get almost weekly. “How much will it cost me to build a house inside Hot Springs Village?”

It depends.

There are so many variables, it’s impossible to give much of an answer other than, “It depends.”

Foundations can include crawl spaces or basements. Or not. That’ll dramatically impact the construction cost. Square footage, level of finish touches (engineered hard wood floors vs. luxury vinyl tile vs. carpet, etc.), and so many other factors have to be considered.

Hot Springs Village is a top drawer destination for folks looking for what the Village provides: safety, peace, woods, wildlife, water, golf, hiking, high quality of life, affordability and so much more. Have you never visited Hot Springs Village? Do it. Soon. You will not regret it.
